After discovering an unexpected pregnancy or being unable to continue due to certain factors during pregnancy, women can only terminate their pregnancy through artificial methods. However, some women do not have knowledge about pregnancy and childbirth, so they would like to ask how many days the latest for induced abortion is?
The methods of induced abortion include medication abortion, surgical abortion, and induced abortion. Depending on the gestational age at the time of termination, different methods of induced abortion should be chosen. Generally, women under 49 days of pregnancy can choose medication abortion. At this time, due to the relatively small size of the embryo, medication can stimulate uterine contractions and expel the embryo from the body.
After more than 49 days of pregnancy, the embryo begins to grow and develop, and at this time, medical abortion cannot be performed. Surgical abortion is necessary to terminate the pregnancy. Women between 49 and 10 weeks of pregnancy are often treated with negative pressure aspiration, while women between 10 and 12 weeks of pregnancy require both negative pressure aspiration and curettage.
When a woman is more than 12 weeks pregnant, due to the relatively large individual development of the fetus and the growth of bones, surgical abortion is no longer suitable. It is necessary to terminate the pregnancy by inducing labor through vaginal delivery of the fetus. If the induction of labor is unsuccessful, a cesarean section may be necessary to remove the fetus.
